Nope, the problem here is related to the fact that you're invoke Type.GetType
using reflection.

I can reproduce it using the following code snippet:

using System;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Reflection;

class Program
{
    static void Main ()
    {
        Type t = typeof (Type);
        MethodInfo m = t.GetMethod ("GetType", 
            BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static,
            null, new Type [] { typeof (string) }, null);
        object r = m.Invoke (null, BindingFlags.Default, null,
            new object [] { "Program" }, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
        Console.WriteLine ("NULL? " + (r == null));
    }
}
